I have implemented functionality in Angular js using Umbraco entiryResource, Here is my code sample.

entityResource.getById(value, 'Member')
 .then(function (ent) {
                        value = ent.name;                                          
                    });
return value;

The problem is "return value;" statement executes before the line inside ".then()". I just want to wait the execution to complete the ".then()" and then move to next step.

How to achieve this?

You can't. Return the whole promise instead and use another then() to do what is needed – charlietfl Jun 09 '18 at 14:14
JavaScript does non-blocking asynchronous I/O. It does not wait. If you want a language that waits, look elsewhere. – georgeawg Jun 09 '18 at 14:41
